Benro GD36PT Geared Ballhead – front view
Finding “the” right ballhead for my general photography has been a ongoing, seems like, lifetime quest. There have been some really close ones, but they have all lacked, until now, the one feature I truly desire. Benro nailed it with the GD36PT! The feature I wanted, fine-tune adjustments! I love the speed of a ballhead for getting the camera where I want it. With all the previous ballheads, fine-tuning took me seemingly forever as I loosened the knob, adjusted, tightened, saw it move, loosened again, tightened again. Argh. With the GD36PT, you can quickly get where you want to be, horizontal or vertical, then with the geared movements, fine-tune instantly and once! And you can do this even wearing gloves! Rock solid, doesn’t weigh a ton, fits right in the tripod bag. Benro hit a home run with the ultimate Ballhead, their geared head!
